Facebook rejects Gris trailer advertisement due to 'sexually suggestive' imagery

Would you consider the above image sexually suggestive? No matter how I look at it, 'sexually suggestive' doesn't come across to me. It doesn't matter what I think, though. Devolver Digital submitted a trailer for Gris to Facebook for advertisement, and they rejected the spot due to the image above, labeling it as sexually suggestive.

Stephanie Tinsley, who represents Devolver Digital, had this to say about the rejection.

“This is really stupid. We appealed and [Facebook] said the appeal was rejected based on the grounds that Facebook does not allow nudity. First of all, she’s a statue and second, absolutely no nudity is shown in that photo, nor is this what any reasonable person would consider ‘sexualized content.’”
